Verbascum species 'Cotswold King'

A phenomenal “must have” Verbascum! When this began blooming in our garden the tag was long gone & we were unsure for a long time as to what it’s name was. Now, finally we know! The huge, bright, lemon yellow blooms have beautiful maroon markings that upon inspection form a face. The long stamens below the “face” curve dramatically upwards. The 4’-5’ erect spikes appear in late spring & if cut back after bloom is spent, it will send up secondary spikes in Mid-Summer. Soft, rich green foliage forms a basal rosette to 30” across. Verbascum sp. ‘Cotswold King’ appears biennial, but self sows easily, coming true from seed. Verbascums, commonly known as “Mulliens” are fast, easy, carefree plants that no garden should be without.
